Hot Chocolate has been around for
2000 years. The original dairy free hot chocolate drink was created
by the Mayans as a pure dairy free beverage with no milk added.
Over time, as the drink evolved, more and more ingredients were added
to the hot chocolate, the biggest change being making the drink
with cocoa powder as opposed to real dark chocolate and also the
addition of milk. Thus the original dairy free rich hot chocolate
drink slowly became a thin watered down version of the original dairy
free hot chocolate beverage and therefore more directed towards children.
Using cocoa powder enabled the drink to be manufactured much less
expensively, but the only way to thicken it up was to
then add milk. Some cultures even thicken it up with grains
along with cream and milk.

Here at Cocoa Canard we have created
what we call "The Expresso of Hot Chocolate."
It's the first diary free pure non-bitter dark hot chocolate to instantly
melt in a cup of hot water with such a richness that you will never miss the
milk. It's a silky refined version of the pure melted dairy free hot
chocolate drinks originally served in old world chocolate houses. For
people who are lactose intolerant, its miracle. But it is
perfect for people who just want a small delightful demitasse of warm
dairy free hot chocolate in the afternoon or with a meal and not a whole
mug of warm milk. Thus this is a year round product and not just for
cold winter days.

What people discover with our dairy
free hot chocolate is that when high quality real dark chocolate
is warmed and isn't overwhelmed by the presence of other ingredients such
as milk, its rich, earthy, sensual qualities magically come to the
forefront. Warm real dairy free hot chocolate on the pallet is
something few people have ever experienced and once they do, there is
nothing like it. The aroma and the flavors are not toned down by the
milk and you are left with the finest pure dairy free hot chocolate drinking
experience you could ever imagine.

We are so happy to introduce people
to the pure experience of dairy free hot chocolate the way it was originally
enjoyed...only better! Today with modern refinements in chocolate production,
we can create a dairy free hot chocolate that can instantly mix up in water
with a real body and smoothness and no grittiness that was unheard of in times
past. Thus we have taken the original dairy free hot chocolate to a whole
new dimension. And just add 2-3 of our chocolate pastilles in a cup of coffee for the finest Cafe Mocha of your life!
